I have the Powerbeats pro and a set of the new AirPods. Overall I love the Powerbeats but the only issue is that after an hour or so they start becoming uncomfortable.
I bought them a week ago, any suggestions on alternatives?
I was thinking about the Sony wf 1000xm3

sweet, thank you for letting me know! My moms 65t were amazing and they fit really well, hopefully they come out with it soon.

The Sony is a great set. Great sound and comfortable (for me anyway).

How are Masters & Dynamics?

They are actually very good. It lacks high just a little bit but if you enjoy warmer sound and more low ends you'll like them. You really need to replace the stock tips with Comply foam to really take advantage of them.

My AirPods I use 99,9% of the time. The BeatsX I only use in the gym during workouts because it's in-ear. That way I'm not bothered with the noice of the gym.

I have AirPods and Beats Pro, probably going to get nc700s. The AirPods have more or less been retired since I got the Beats pro.
 
Pick up Jlab audio JBuds, just to fill in till I could pick something else up. But was surprised they work really good. haven't thought about anything else up since.
 
Launch day AirPods and Sony WF-1000XM3. The WFs are impressing me more and more every day.
 
JayBird Run. I’m about 90% happy with them. The only thing I don’t like is that they are slightly out of sync with video playback, which I don’t use often, but it is still a pain. Other than that, they’re great.

I wish AirPods fit my ear canals, but they don’t, so there you go.

For convenience Apple and Beats products can't be beat. Fit is unique to the the individual. If sound quality (and not price) there two main contenders at about the same price range.

"One of the frustrating things about purchasing headphones and earphones is that it is very difficult to test drive and compare them. There is one U.S. web retailer (forgotten the name) who allows you to try out various headphones until you find the ones you like. I'm not sure if they would do the same for in-ear.

I considered the WF-1000XM3. It certainly is good choice. But it turns out that many of its features, such as the ANC, longer battery life, and controls just aren't as important to me as accurate, balanced sound without emphasis. All the comparison reviews that I checked had Sennheiser Momentum best in sound."

The Sennheisers don't fall out of my ears like the airpods do, and have excellent sound. I had to return my PowerBeats Pro due due to the poor quality sound.

I have been using the original AirPods that I got back in April 2017, however now that they are basically useless past an hour or so I recently purchased the new Sony XF-1000-XM3 and I will be getting them sometime next week so I will try them out and see if I like them and want to keep them and if not probably going to survive on my AirPods until they release a pair with noise cancelling.

Airpods for home, Master & Dynamic MW07 for hot days and not buds but Sony 1000XM3 for everything else.

The MW07 are good but for $300 that battery life is a no no. The Sony have 2 pairs called that the WH-1000XM3 and WF-1000XM3 btw.


I have the Sony WF-1000XM3 and Powerbeats pro and love them both. Try those out
